I agree. It seems rather silly to specify a "mains" or other cable included
with the equipment in the DoC or to have separate DoCs for each cable.

Subject: RE: NEW EMC DIRECTIVE


John et al
How can the authors of the directive reconcile the concept of "benign
equipment" (which are outside the scope of the directive) with the
requirement to include, for example, a mains lead? Does this mean that if
leads are sold separately they must have a D of C? 
I assume that a lead provided with a piece of equipment would be covered by
the D of C for that equipment.
